It is the authors view that the proposed development is in conflict with the Schedule 1 objectives of the Resource Management and Planning System of Tasmania. The development impacts negatively on the people and communities and does not provide for or maintain their current level of social, economic and cultural well-being and for their health and safety. Blackstone Heights is significantly, a low density housing community. People invest and live in this area for the amenity that is provided by that zoning. This is not a zoning that was forced on the community, residents made the free choice to live here. The proposed zoning change alters that and will have long lasting impacts on the social, economic and environmental amenity of residents. The proposal supporting the application for the creation of the Blackstone Heights Specific Area Plan is flawed and does not support the requirements that the proposed amendment

    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Legislative Council Select Committee PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS MEDIA ADVISORY 23 March 2021 The Legislative Council Select Committee on the Production of Documents has today tabled its Report. The Report is available on the Parliament of Tasmania website at: https://www.parliament.tas.gov.au/ctee/Council/LC%20Select%20POD.html The Committee was established in response to disputes over the production of documents between governments and the Tasmanian Legislative Council and its Committees including Joint Committees. The report makes six recommendations. Committee Chair, the Hon Ruth Forrest MLC stated: The Tasmanian Legislative Council has the authority to treat refusal to produce documents as a contempt of the house and has a range of processes available that can be applied under standing orders to exert political pressure/remedies to respond to a refusal and that these processes have not been fully-exercised by the Tasmanian Legislative Council. The Committee recommended the Legislative Council and its committees consider the use of available punitive and coercive remedies to address disputes over the production of documents for when they may arise in the future. The Committee further recommended an additional dispute resolution process be considered by the Legislative Council Standing Orders Committee through possible amendment to the Legislative Council’s Standing Orders. This dispute resolution process be based upon the system of Responsible Government and underpinned by the power to call for documents, and consider the use of a suitably qualified independent adviser on claims of public interest immunity. Further recommendations included: • Consideration be given to the development of procedural orders to assist when claims of public interest immunity arise in the Legislative Council and its committees.
